WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Spoilers: 10 Things To Expect Tonight

3. Brock Lesnar Comes Close To Winning Rumble

It's quite difficult to look at Brock Lesnar's involvement in the Royal Rumble and not imagine he will be there near the end. For example, it'd be a huge conclusion to the show if WWE's creative team book Lesnar to go nose-to-nose with Roman Reigns in order to see who leaves as WWE Champion. Lesnar's star power lends itself well to that kind of scenario. The company have booked themselves into a corner, here - either Roman Reigns needs to eliminate Brock Lesnar or vice versa. That seems to be what fans are expecting at the event, so something along those lines has to go down on the night. The situation must also be handled delicately, because there's a chance fans could rebel on the idea of Roman discarding Brock with relative ease. A real struggle must be played out, painting both guys as true warriors. Whatever happens, it's pivotal that Brock Lesnar is there near the end, because it leaves the question of who might win the watch burning in fans' minds. Reigns vs. Lesnar is an interesting showdown, and it has to come to pass that they are the final two left in the Rumble.
